No, you need to enable "Read" as well. And possible "Read & Execute", too, depending on the contents.

	Hey thanks buddy! – Chin Boon Nov 16 '11 at 9:41
	Doesn't it make it silly to have "Deny Read" checkbox too if not checking the "Allow Read" will have implicitly denied read access. – Chin Boon Nov 16 '11 at 9:41
	@ChinBoon - No problem, I've just made a minor correction. Too early here. – Dan Nov 16 '11 at 9:45
	@ChinBoon - Yes, you should only use "Deny" when you need to override other permissions. Not having any permission to write, and having a deny on write will resolve to the same end result for the user. However, a DENY will override an ALLOW if the user is a member of multiple groups. – Dan Nov 16 '11 at 9:47
